Forever Midnight

Have you ever tasted Halloween

with the tip of  your tongue?

Tasted like pennies and burnt sugar

caramel,

thick and sweet sliding down your throat like warm blood.

Have you seen Halloween

from the corner of your eye

it moved like a cat,  black as midnight

where does it hide until you walk by alone

with nothing but the shadows to see your home?

Meet Halloween

shake it’s hand,

take it’s hand

in your own

pale as death

lonely as dusty bones

dreaming  where it is forever midnight

inside a ruined tomb.

Meet Halloween

tonight if you will.

It’s been waiting  so long

for you.

On The Other Side

September ends tonight.

In a few hours

October begins.

Are you ready?

I am.

See you on the other side.

Are We Excited Yet?

September is almost gone.

October is almost here.

Bring on those crunchy leaves, eggnog, black cats and pumpkin flavored everything!

 

Its A Pretty Neat Pumpkin, Anita Marie

This year I am trying to decide which way to go…

Do I want to go traditional and carve my pumpkin- which is fun because it involves big knives and little knives and stringy pumpkin guts which unlike other innards, smell pretty nice.

Or

Do I go all new School and try this out:

I’ll ‘fess up.

I already bought the kit and to prevent screwing it up I’ve recruited my nieces to do the job because they’re both artistic and unlike me they can actually FOLLOW the directions that come in kits.

I learned anatomy and embalming from books, but you know we all have limits and mine are instruction books.

For the most part.

So I’ll let you know how it goes.

I’d be interested in hearing about your pumpkin carving adventures too, so drop me a note or a link in the comment section.

Scream Ya Later.
